House of the Funnel Beaker Culture from Vynnyky-Lisivka, Western Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The site Vynnyky-Lisivka near Lviv is a model example of a settlement of the Funnel Beaker Culture in Western Ukraine. In the following years, the Vynnyky-Lisivka site was excavated by numerous researchers. M. Peleschchychyn believed that the complex of Funnel Beaker and Tripolye culture sites in Vynnyky, a part of which is the Vynnyky-Lisivka settlement, may prove to be of a particular importance in studies of relations between these two cultural phenomena. Of special interest were clusters of burnt daub unearthed during Peleschchychyn’s excavations, which could be interpreted as remains of dwellings. The discovery was made a part of then-ongoing discussion in Polish archaeological literature concerning adaptation of the Tripolye culture tradition of using clay in construction in the Funnel Beaker culture. The new phase of archaeological research at the Vynnyky-Lisivka site started in 2016. That year marks the discovery of a large cluster of burnt daub. The layout of daub fragments in the feature from Vynnyky-Lisivka resembles dwellings of the eastern group of the Funnel Beaker culture on the Polish Lowlands.
